The Starliner does have a payload bay behind the cockpit. This is large enough to accomodate a Delta II upper stage, with payload, and still have room to spare. However, there is no payload management system at this time. There are two attachment points on the G42, and both of them can be used to fit payloads in the bay.

Caution MUST be used when using Universal Cargo Deck, as there have been several issues surrounding the use of UCD with the G42, such as uncontrolled movements and tremors while on the ground.

With a little practice, the G42-200 can be used as the first stage of a launch system with a disposable second or even third stage being used to perform the orbital insertion. A good candidate is the Velcro Delta II second stage, with either a Star 37 or Star 48 solid rocket motor being used as the optional third stage, like the Delta II. Experimentation is encoraged, however, and there will likely be other stages that can fit inside the bay.
 
 
Flying with a full load of oxidizer can lead to a failure top reach orbit.
 
 
There are several interesting features to the G42. One of them is the ability to "skip" long distances across the atmosphere when lightly loaded, such as after a failed orbital insertion. By leaving the wings in High Performance Cruise setting, you can traverse half the planet at speeds in excess of 5 km/s.
